Let me say this first. The Rookie Challenge happened before the Slam Dunk Competition. I made a mistake, but I've already written so much. I'm too lazy to change it. I'll just let it be.
，……
Number 8 Xiao Yang had nothing better to do as he strolled around. He looked at the city of Oakland, thought about the son of Acheron who would be joining the Cavaliers in six years, and then thought about Number 30, who was also born in Texas. Haha, he was drooling all over the floor.
On the night of the 9th, Xiao Yang sat neatly on the sidelines of Gund Stadium. Tonight was the Rookie Challenge, and several rookies from the Laker team had been selected: Kobe, Fisher, and Big Ben. Originally, Kobe had participated in the main competition, so he did not have to play in the Rookie Challenge.
However, Xiao Yang still asked Kobe to try his best to participate in every game. What a joke. He was the only representative of Under Armand, so he had to wear Under Armand's shoes more often in front of the cameras.
If it weren't for the fact that Kobe's three-pointer was not good enough, Xiao Yang would have sent him to participate in the three-pointer contest.
……
The Rookie Challenge was held for the first time in 1994. Back then, it was divided into two teams, the Outstanding Team and the Sensational Team, which were all made up of rookies. In 1995, it was changed to the White Team and the Green Team, which were still made up of rookies.
It wasn't until last year that the league began to classify rookies according to the team's Eastern and Western divisions. In 2000, it was changed to a rookie team against a second-year team, so this year's Rookie Challenge was still between the Eastern Conference rookies and the Western Conference rookies.
In fact, Xiao Yang felt that it was fairer this way. It was not like the first and second year duels in the future, where the second year basically won. It was boring.
The game was about to begin. Both teams entered the stadium. The first team to enter the stadium was the Western Conference team. After all, they were in Cairo, and the Eastern Conference team was considered the home team.
The Western Conference player, Sharif Abdou Rahim, was the Grizzlies 'power forward this year. Xiao Yang watched the game late and did not have much of an impression of this person. After all, as a player from the golden generation of the 1996 team, his performance as an All-Star in his career did not fit the title.
Matt Maloney, the Rockets 'rookie, Roy Roger, the Grizzlies' again, and Lorenzen Wright, the Clippers 'rookie.
Xiao Yang couldn't remember the next few players. They were definitely extras.
Next up was the Suns 'third point guard, Steve Nash. Xiao Yang looked at the young and inexperienced Zonda wearing Kobe's Heavenly Feet and smiled. Haha, today's exposure of Under Armand was definitely enough.
The last to come out were the three players of the Laker team, Derek Fisher, Ben Ben, and Kobe.
Kobe was probably the biggest star of the night. After all, he had been selected for the All-Star competition. The Rookie Competition was like an appetizer to him. Xiao Yang looked at Kobe's relaxed face and guessed that he did not pay much attention to this game.
The next team to go on stage was the Eastern team. The audience cheered even harder. The home team was different.
The first to go on stage was the fat monk Anthony Walker. Xiao Yang's biggest impression of him was that he would dance in an extremely disgusting position after every three-pointer, and he loved to shoot three-pointers. Damn it, the more he didn't shoot, the more he would shoot. It was better for him to bring disaster to the Celtics.
Marcus Canby, the man who suppressed Duncan in college, forced Duncan to study in college for another year, and was the second place of the golden generation.
Xiao Yang's impression of Eric Dampier still came from his words," I'm the best center in the NBA besides O'Neal.”
Ray Allen, let's not talk about this. Everyone knows him.
Kerry Kittles, the eighth pick in 1996. The Nets had initially wanted to pick Kobe, but they were scared off by the news released by West and Terham, so they chose this guy, the man nicknamed Mosquito.
After the last two extras appeared, the cheers from the audience reached the highest level!
Allen Iverson, the top scorer of the golden generation. In his short half-year career, Iverson attracted many fans with his butterfly steps. His 1.83-meter height made a name for himself in the NBA.
When Kobe saw Iverson appear, his lazy eyes suddenly became sharp. Kobe was once the son of Philadelphia, but now there was only one new favorite of the Philadelphia fans, and that was Iverson.
The two of them had fought before. Iverson's speed gave Kobe a headache. Iverson didn't even need to feint when he passed. He just sped up and basically no one in the league could keep up.
"I thought it was quite boring here, but now that I see you, let's have some fun later!”Kobe walked up to Iverson and greeted him.
"I hope you can keep up with me later!”Iverson looked at Kobe with his big, shining eyes. He was still as unruly as ever. Kobe could be selected as an All-Star, but he could only play house with these kids. The difference in treatment made Iverson very unhappy with Kobe.
The two's statistics were almost on par. His points and assists were even slightly above Kobe's. Why was he able to enter the All-Star lineup? He could only play here. Just because that kid was a player from Los Angeles? So what if he was from a big city?
Yes, the big city was amazing…Pfft, they had come to the wrong set. The two of them stared at each other, and sparks seemed to collide in their eyes.
"See you at the stadium!"
"I'm going to shake you down!"
The two of them returned to their own half proudly.
Both sides jumped the ball and the match officially began.
Camby got the first wave of offense for the Eastern Conference. After receiving the ball, Iverson glanced at Kobe and raised his eyebrows, signaling Kobe to come over and defend against him.
"Derek, switch defense. I'll defend against Iverson. You go and follow Ray!”Kobe greeted Fisher softly.
They were all players of the Laker team, and they were teammates who had a tacit understanding of each other. As soon as Kobe said this, Fisher understood that Kobe was going against Iverson.
Alright, as long as you like it. It just so happens that my Chevrolet can't keep up with the speed of a Ferrari.
"Hey, buddy, I thought you wouldn't dare to come!”Iverson smiled coolly as he watched Kobe and Fisher switch positions in front of him.
"I hope you can still laugh later!”Kobe lowered his center of gravity and placed his hands on his thighs to grab onto his basketball shorts. He stared fiercely at Iverson and said (Isn't this action very picturesque).
" Hehe." Iverson smiled contemptuously and did not reply. He pushed the ball to the side and used his thigh to force Kobe to eat him.
"Don't even think about it!" Kobe gritted his teeth. He had already been prepared for Iverson's speed, but now that he had come into contact with him, he felt that it was still not enough. He was too fast. A figure flashed in front of him, and Iverson was about to overtake him.
Forcefully shifting his center of gravity, he barely managed to keep up with Iverson. Before Kobe could catch his breath, Iverson's high-speed body suddenly came to a stop. He did a crotch shift, his left hand turning into his right hand.
Kobe's brain reacted, but his body couldn't keep up with his brain's reaction. His feet almost collided and he fell. However, Kobe used the best strength in history to stabilize his body's center of gravity. Only then did he not make a fool of himself in front of the audience.
"Oh no!" Although he had managed to balance his body, there was still a pause of a fraction of a second. In a battle between experts, a slight mistake could be fatal. Kobe immediately looked at Iverson.
